Rosemont Cottage embraces an ecological play based approach to learning, which encourages sustainability and respect for the environment. The children at Rosemont Cottage climb trees, play in the dirt, care for animals, grow vegetables, and play in the sunshine.
“Early childhood is a very valuable and important stage of life and we are committed to the education, care, development, and wellbeing of each child during this special time”.
Some Praise!
“The children’s activities are such wonderful experiences. They are always projects that evolve over time and carry such beautiful messages. The way the girls set up the activities is so inviting. The children are so lucky to have you”.
“The connection between the children and the educators at Rosemont is so strong. The girls really work on building relationships with every child they care for”.
“I would absolutely recommend sending your child to Rosemont. The teachers go above and beyond every single day and it shows – my children absolutely adore them”.
“Our children have thrived at Rosemont. The quality of programs is exceptional, and the carers gentle approach to conflict resolution ensures the children always feel respected and heard”.
“I love seeing my child come home from Kindy covered in dirt, chatting excitedly about everything they have done that day. He is learning so much, about everything, I am so grateful to the girls at Rosemont”.
“My children are learning so much. By not using work sheets and other rigid resources, the children are able to learn there is no right or wrong answer – they are already learning to be enlightened thinkers”.
“I really like the way the educators don’t over manage my child. They provide great care, but they let her learn things for herself when she is ready, in her own time – such an advanced approach to learning”.
"Matilda has grown so much in your care. Her confidence and her speech has developed so much.
Last time we visited my Grandmother on the coast, she couldn't believe the difference".
"From the time my son began care at Rosemont, he has changed from a solitary child into a joyful, friendly, and verbally expressive little boy.
For me, this has been a delight of Jack's early years, and to see him become happy in the place he is now, was my dream!"
"I love the assistance and educative discussion provided to me as a parent, and as a carer. It has been a journey from strength to strength for us, and the results really shine through in Jack's personality - he is braver, more imaginative, and demonstrates mindfulness to his surroundings".

Natural Environment
At Rosemont Cottage we pride ourselves on our strong sense of connectedness with the environment and with the community.
Our Kindy has been used during state-wide workshops to showcase our natural environment.
Our power source is predominantly from Solar and we harvest rainwater in our three storage tanks. We are an organic setting so no sprays or chemicals are used at any time. Our use of plastics is minimal, and we recycle all our materials where possible.
We support local charities through our recycling program, and encourage the children to see the value in natural play resources. Our outdoor environment is full of lots of nooks and crannies for children to explore and rocks, trees, native grasses, and sensory gardens provide a variety of textures that help to stimulate the senses. We also have a channelled creek with running water that provides provides amazing water experiences for the children. At the far end of the Kindergarten, there are double gates that open onto beautiful Parkland. This provides a wonderful atmosphere for excursion and picnics. The Park also encourages the children to explore a range of flora and fauna.
We have two organic vegetable gardens that are rotated seasonally and several fruit trees from which the children enjoy harvesting the fruit. We have a fish pond full of native and gold fish and frogs, possums and native birds that visit on a regular basis. We all encourage visits from the children’s pets, and regularly have a range of animals visit our Kindy.
Rosemont Cottage cherishes and celebrates cultural diversity. During the enrolment process there is opportunity to discuss and document cultural and religious beliefs, rituals and customs. We will endeavour to support all families respectfully within our learning environment.
